To all fellow Canadians on GAW, about a week ago one of the newer members at OmegaCanada set-up a new forum.
The forum is here:
Some FAQ:
Q: Is the site part of the .win network?
A: Not yet. The admins are working on it. If that doesn't pan out, then the forum will continue roughly as is.
Q: Will my ".win" username/password work for this forum?
A: Given that it isn't integrated into the ".win" network (yet), no, it will not. You should use a different password, at the very least.
Q: Do we need to use a real email address to join?
A: No, there isn't email verification. Use a fake email if you aren't comfortable with giving your real email.
Q: What is the forum format like? Does it resemble the ".win" format?
A: It is a bit different than the ".win" forums in format. The learning curve is rather small, though, and there are some different features there which are rather useful. The forum may eventually adopt some more ".win" features/characteristics, if it isn't folded into the ".win" network.
Q: I don't like the colour of the forum, what can I do?
A: There is a dark mode available. Press "Flexile" at the bottom left of the page to see this option.
Q: Who are the site admins?
A: JordanPEDErson (JP) & TragicOptimistic (TO).
Q: Who hosts the site?
A: The admin, JP, hosts it locally. He backs up the content daily as well.

Asking for an email address? fuck you
Plenty of people have also voiced that valid concern.
From the onset, fake email addresses have worked though, and, the admin (JP) who originally set up the forum has made that clear a few times.
Apparently, something fake like [email protected] would be sufficient.
I used one of my burner email addresses, and a different password than I've used anywhere else.
